On November 27,
"Georgian Art of 1918-1920" was presented at the Art Palace of
Georgia. Mikheil Batiashvili, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport
of Georgia attended this special event.

The Minister thanked Giorgi
Kalandia, director of "Art Palace", as well as each member of the
creative group working on the album and noted that the book will be equally
interesting for both scientific circles and ordinary readers.

"The book is truly
unique, because it includes one of the most important periods in the history of
Georgian art. The catalog is bilingual, and the ministry will do everything
together with the art palace to send it to the leading libraries and scientific
centers of the world "- said Mikheil Batiashvili.

Presentation of the album was
also attended by independent presidential candidate Salome Zourabichvili and
Georgian Diaspora representatives from different countries.

The 300-page bilingual album was created with
the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of
Georgia, within the 100th anniversary of the Independent Republic of Georgia.
The catalog brings together unpublished, unique archival materials and tells us
about many interesting and unknown facts about the art and culture of the
Democratic Republic of Georgia. In order to compile the collection, the
Georgian Press (mostly the magazine "Theater and Life") has selected
pictures over the period of 72 years, which fully reclect the spirit of the epoch.
